Anyone who has served in the armed services, and especially the Marine Corps, knows the importance of keeping a firearm ready for service. Recruits spend a lot of in boot camp learning how to clean and lubricate their weapons. The fundamental reason for this focus is that such weapons must function in all conditions, and keeping them clean is essential for achieving this goal.

When a rifle or pistol is shot, even with blanks during training, a number of chemicals and corrosive elements are discharged into the chamber and barrel of the weapon. Left without cleaning, these materials will cause a number of problems. Pitting of the barrel is a common occurrence, and this can impede both accuracy and the durability of the firearm. Additionally, dirt, grime and oil will accumulate in even the tiniest areas and, over time, cause jams and other problems. Continue reading »

If you are looking for a portable power supply to use as an emergency starter for your aircraft, you need to look at the technology that is being used with lithium batteries. Although the traditional lead-acid batteries can still be purchased, there are several advantages to using a lithium design for an emergency starter unit for your small to medium size aircraft.

These units are lightweight and smaller
Typically a lithium starter supply will weigh anywhere from 20 to 30 lbs. In general, this represents 40 percent less weight than using a lead-acid equivalent battery. This is light enough that it can be carried by hand in the case of an emergency. A lithium design will be about a third smaller in volume. Both a smaller size and lighter weight make them more portable than ever before.

They are easy to transport yet powerful
They are made with a handle that makes them easy to pick up and carry from point A to Point B. Even though they are small, they can be purchased with a compatible power rating with your aircraft’s power system. There is no sacrifice of power due to their smaller size.

Lithium batteries last longer
By utilizing a lithium battery in a starter supply, the battery life of the unit is at a minimum twice as long as seen with lead-acid types. Much of this is due to the nature of lithium batteries. They can be recharged after the starter unit is used, and the recharging unit is built into the starter unit. Because these starter power supplies are portable and lightweight, they can be easily carried to a convenient power source for charging.

Lithium batteries store easily
With lithium, you will not experience the damage that is often seen with the terminals of a lead-acid battery. The worst part of using a lead-acid battery system for emergency startup is when you go to use it in an emergency and find that the unit is not working properly because the battery has degraded due to sulfation. This is a problem for all lead-acid batteries and is a good reason not to depend upon them in an emergency.

Better for the environment
Lithium ion battery cells are not harmful to the environment and can be easily recycled compared to lead-acid batteries.

This type of lithium portable starting unit is sold by several companies. One example of a company that offers this type of product is Start Pac.

There are several benefits to installing turnstiles in your business whether it’s a courthouse or sports arena. You will find that they are excellent physical barriers. When you don’t want people entering a certain area of the building, you can lock the turnstile so that it won’t move. This will keep everyone in line until you are ready to open the area to let more people inside. It is also a way to keep people from getting into a business before it opens.

These are a cost effective way to control access. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on electric devices as the turnstile is a few pieces of metal that are put together. They aren’t technically difficult to operate, and you won’t have to worry about all of the electrical components that you would see with sliding doors or revolving doors. Most turnstiles operate on a system that has a small gate that turns when someone goes through. There are a few gates so that only one person enters at a time, making it easier to control the access of numerous people at once. When you have employees who no longer work for the company, you can set the turnstile to not accept the access card. This will prevent the employee from trying to get back inside the company on another day. Click here for pictures of turnstiles and the various uses for them.

If you’re in the market for display screens or industrial motherboards, the last thing you want to do is shop locally and risk an inferior product. These aren’t inexpensive supplies, and replacing them ad nauseam is the kind of effort that can quickly break you financially.

So where should you shop for parts? How about an independent electronics distributor? If you haven’t heard of their ilk, here are just three reasons why they’re worth the additional research.

1: Lower Prices

Independent distributors are notoriously cheaper than big name brands. Not only do they offer better prices overall, but most of their merchandise is discounted or on clearance somehow, offering you high-quality components for a fraction of their value.

2: Large Selections

If you’re looking for a discounted or end-of-life product, there’s no better place to find them than an independent electronics distributor. Unlike eBay or other auction sites, all of their parts are guaranteed to be factory new and fully functional. They simply held onto them longer than other sellers.

3: Improved Customer Service

Independent businesses are always keener to make you happy than an international company who doesn’t really need your money and doesn’t care if you come back. Independent customer service reflects this, making them some of the nicest, most helpful people in the industry.

These are just a few of the benefits you’ll enjoy when you switch to an independent electronics distributor. If you’re serious about only buying the best, resist the temptation of local or brand-name shops. There are better alternatives out there.

Balls have more uses than for bouncing in a yard. There are several sizes of balls that are used in products that you probably use every day. A roller ball can often be seen in deodorant. The ball in deodorant makes it easier to roll on the product so that there is an even coating. It also makes less of a mess than powder deodorants. These balls are mostly the same size so that they fit in all shapes of deodorant bottles. Continue reading »

A good business presentation relies on good visuals and powerful words to get the point across clearly and concisely. If you put together your own presentation with cheesy graphics, poor visuals and a lot of words that don’t add to the topic, you could turn off your audience. This can result in a missed opportunity to expand your career or grow your small business.

A PowerPoint presentation can be useful because it is easy for anyone to create a professional presentation that capture an audience’s attention. When giving a formal speech, this type of visual can be used to outline your main points as you talk. This helps your audience stay with you as you speak and helps them to focus on your talking points and any actions that you want them to take.

While almost anyone can create a PowerPoint presentation, it may be worthwhile to have a professional do it for you. Outsourcing business PowerPoint presentations allows you to spend more time writing and practicing the delivery of your speech instead of having to spend time creating a visual. When you are able to spend time on the creation and delivery of your speech, it enables you to be more comfortable with and deliver it with poise and passion.
